The Human Rights Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to improving human rights in the Americas.

The foundation defines these basic human rights to which all humans are entitled as:

• The right to freely associate with those of like mind
• The right to acquire and dispose of property
• The right to leave and enter their countries
• The right to equal treatment and due process under law
• The right to be able to participate in the government of their countries
• Freedom from arbitrary detainment or exile
• Freedom from slavery and torture
• Freedom from interference and coercion in matters of conscience

The foundations work currently focuses on the worst violators of human rights in the Americas: Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
